A New Hannagan

We've been a bit remiss in adding news on here recently, so it's great to have a good excuse for a post.

Yesterday, Bernadette Hannagan wrote and told us that:

Cael Jacob Hannagan was born at 8.00 pm on June 23 to Andrew and Sian Hannagan. All are well and Ray and I are relishing the grandparent role.

The name is Gaelic from Irish mythology.

(If any of you are unsure who Bernadette is, she's Raymond Hannagan's wife - Ray is one of Charlie Hannagan's two sons.)

Hoarding....

Mum was a great hoarder of 'bits' - cuttings from newspapers, or things she'd been given by the grandchildren, or things that had special value at some point. She also liked keeping note of silly jokes, and so I'll be adding some of these to the blog over the next few days/weeks.

Here's something for starters:

After Glasgow football team Celtic lost 3-1 to unfancied Inverness Caledonian in the Scottish Cup, the Sun headline declared: 'Super Callie Go Ballistic - Celtic are Atrocious.'

And here is a photo we came across amongst the bits and pieces: if I'm not mistaken, it's a very young John Ryan.
